Got back out to my favorite walk-in LMB lake and everything went well with the re-rigging.
. 12 hits, 12 hookups, 12 landed.
A lovely day of showers and not too distant thunder.
7 on Slug-Gos, then switched to my worm rig - Creme and Mann's 6", Texas rigged with Lazer Auto .45 and a nail wt. First of the 5 I caught on that set-up was on the favorite color of my yute - blue (Mann's), the others on purple Creme.

Meaning to ask you @oldslowandugly what you might have concluded regarding your hook choices if you made the comparison.

Keep thinking about them crabs me and my bro used to catch.
Too far to go though.

I feel crappy weather makes for better fishing. The biggest Fluke I ever caught [ 8 lbs ] was on a drizzly day with a thunderstorm off in the distance. No boats, just big fish out that day.

I have had little luck with the hooks I tried. I can't seem to find the right conditions to use them. The weighted ones snag too much stuff on the bottom. I fall back on the wide gap Kahle hooks. They get the fish in the side of the mouth most of the time.

The Bluefish are back from spawning early this year. Normally they are gone in August but this year there were gone in July. Heat? Even the babies [snappers] will tear your baits to pieces.
